Council takes down England and union flags hung by Birmingham locals

BBC News, West Midlands

British and union flags are blown into the regions of Birmingham and claim that the Municipal Assembly is caused by maintenance work.
In recent weeks, Union Jack and St George’s Cross have been hung in the Weoey Castle and Northfield regions of the city, where the locals said they were doing in a patriotic action.
However, the Birmingham Municipal Assembly issued a security claim to the residents connecting flags to lamps and other street furniture.
He said that he had raised street lamps to illuminating energy -saving LED and that he has made about 200 posters and flags so far.
A statement given by the Council said that the study would reduce energy usage and lower maintenance costs.
He said: “The work should start closely and the lamp columns must stay away from the annexes, so that the job can be performed as quickly and safely as possible.
“People who wear unauthorized items to the lamps may be at risk of their lives and drivers and pedestrians.
“We [are] He will continue to do this every week and to allow the staff to be prevented from this work. “

Residents reacted with a mixture of anger and confusion in local social media groups.
Many questioned the intention of downloading the flags of the council.
Campaigns Weoley Warriors organized a donation collection to collect money for more flags. He said that the group’s aim was to “give hope to local communities”, which has gathered more than 4,000 £ so far.
However, the Council’s statement said that the placement of “unauthorized attachments” to street furniture may be dangerous – “stress tests” were carried out by the Council before the celebrations in the city.
He said: “Lamps are designed for their special purposes and add extra weight or stress from flags and suffixes may cause them to lose weight over time and cause potentially collapse.”
